Superintendent’s Report for August 2010
The Highway Department is always looking for ways to save money especially when it comes to road improvement projects.
So when the town of West Monroe Highway Department was looking into upgrading their paver, we wanted to get in on the purchase and share the expense which will benefit both towns. It just so happens that Jefferson County auctioned off their paver last month and we were fortunate to be low bid of $28,000.00 ($14,000.00 each).
We spend seven to eight thousand dollars a year on rental from the county each year, and we have to schedule our paving around theirs which is sometimes very inconvenient; not to mention we can't jump around town and do spot paving (spots that need to be shimmed until we can do a full road pave). So, as of the 18th of August, the paver we purchased with West Monroe should be delivered to Constantia Town Barn sometime next week. We will be paving Dutcherville Road from Shacksbush to Kibbie Lake Road the week of August 30th - if all goes as planned, that is.
We are still cutting and trimming trees, road side mowing and patching potholes. The sand screen is being serviced and should be ready to go next week, so after our paving is done we'll get to making sand for this winter.
Summer employees are heading back to school already. They have been a great help this summer, and we hope to see them next year.
And it's budget time again; our first workshop is on the 23erd of September. I will keep everyone up to date as we go through the process.
If you have any questions, call or e-mail me - I'll be happy to answer if I can.
Your Highway Superintendent
